The Igbos Prefer To Identify With Yorubas Than Their Own Tribe - ayo_nato

The bigoted post claiming that Igbo people hate being called “Omo Igbo” and are ashamed of their identity attracted several mocking responses. One particularly offensive comment read, “I swear. They prefer to be called Lagosians Awon oloriburuku.” This remark not only mocked the Igbo people but also insulted them using Yoruba derogatory language.

Such a statement promotes ethnic discrimination and resentment between groups who already share social and economic ties. It reduces a complex cultural issue to insults and mockery, fostering division rather than understanding. No tribe should be ridiculed or shamed for where they come from — unity begins with mutual respect and responsible communication online.
